MATI-IIAS SCHONBAOHLER, OF ROME, NEW YORK.

BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 664,900, dated January1, 1901.

Application filed April 5, 1900. Serial No. 11,593. (No model.)

To a whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MATHIAS SOHONBAOH- LER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Rome, in the county of Oneida and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvementsin adjustablebrackets; and its primary object is to provide a device of simple anddurable construction whereby suitable articles may be elevated to adesired height within a room. The device is especially adapted forsupporting bread-dough, &c., near the ceiling of a room, therebyfacilitating the raising thereof, as it is a wellknown fact that thetemperature at the top of a room is higher than at the bottom.

A further object is to provide a device that is neat and attractive,cheap to manufacture, and which may be readily fastened to a wall orother structure.

To these ends the invention consists in the novel construction andcombination of parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed, andillustrated in the accompanying drawings, showing the preferred form ofmy invention, and in which Figure 1. is a side elevation of the device.Fig. 2 is afront elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a top plan view. Fig. 4 isa cross-section on line so at, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of amodified form of bracket, and Fig. 6 is a top plan view thereof.

Referring to said figures by numerals of reference, 1 is a standardhaving a longitudinally-extending groove 2 in the front surface thereofand a longitudinally-extending bead preferably arranged on the oppositesurface thereof. A clasp 7 embraces the standard and is secured at thefront thereof to the inner face of a plate 8, preferably rectangular inform. A brace 9 is secured at one end to the lower portion of the outerface of the plate, and its opposite end is secured to the center of anarc-shaped bracket 10, having arms 11, which embrace the plate 8 and areembedded at their ends in recesses formed within the sides of the plate.

Slidably mounted within the groove 2 is a rod 12, the upper end of whichis secured to the plate 8 in any suitable manner, preferably by means ofa nut 13. The opposite end of the rod passes under the end of a strap14, provided with a set-screw-15, and a handle 16 is secured to the endof the rod, as shown.

In operation a pan containing dough or other material is placed upon thebracket and slid upward by means of the rod 12 and its handle 16, saidrod being held in adjusted position by means of the set-screw 15.

In Figs. 5 and 6 I have shown a modified form of bracket. In saidfigures the rod 12 passes forward through perforations formed withincross-strips 16, secured to the upper surface of an arm 17, projectingfrom the face of the plate. The rod then bends downward and inward andis secured at its end to the outer face of the plate, near the bottomthereof.

In the foregoing description I have shown the preferred form of myinvention; but I do not limit myself thereto, as I am aware thatmodifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit orsacrificing the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right tomake such changes as fairly fall within the scope of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination with a standard of the character described, of a plateadj ustably secured to the standard, an arm extending at right anglestherefrom and having a series of horizontal strips on the upper surfacethereof, a rod slidable in the groove of the standard and projectingthrough the plate and strips, and secured to the lower portion of theouter surface of the plate.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MATHIAS SCHONBACHLER.
